    See here for ipconfig http://www.ncsu.edu/resnet/windows/ipconfig/

    Also try ping

    Type ping https://www.bbc.co.uk

    If you get 4 lines that give an ip address and times in milly seconds then you have a internet conection but the browser (s) are set up wrong.

    If it says request timed out 4 times you don't have a connection.

    the IP address appears to be an external IP - internal ones usually begin with 192.168.x.x for home networks.

    the subnet mask 255.255.255.255 and DG of 0.0.0.0 is a little wierd and seems to be a default route set up for all unknown destination traffic.

    if you have your command line open try typing this
    tracert www.bbc.co.uk

    it should give you a list off all the hops your request takes to get to the BBC website.
    if you get a line of ** ** ** then you have a time out problem somewhere along the route.

    Still not sure about this default gateway 0.0.0.0 though - seems abit odd. se what the trace route it like then we can try and work on the explorer settings

    Hi Guys

    Tried to ping got nothing,tried tracert nothing. installed the netgear router,checked router status.
    mac address 00:18:4D:3D:F8:CF
    IP address 86.25.194.15
    network tpe PPPoA
    IP subnet mask 255.255.255.255
    gateway ip 82.14.174.10


    although the router says connected:confused:

    tried to diagnose using vista it came back with There may be a problem with DNS config
    looks to me like its not generating an ip address, is there any way i can fix this :o thanks
